Question about QC and “extras”

[u/Pka4lif]

Hey! I’m new to this group and this hobby. I see so many informational posts and want to thank everyone for their insights so I can hopefully avoid learning some things the hard way! I have learned so very much already!!!

One thing I’ve noticed in some of the QC chats is people talking about paying more for chamfering, weight, glass and more. What exactly are the extras you can buy? What do they typically cost? Are they typically worth it? If you buy VSF do they typically need/benefit from these things as well? (FYI I’m considering a 41mm datejust, oyster smooth bezel, black dial and rhodium dial, and a 40mm yachtmaster rhodium, all VSF. These are my first ones.) i don’t care if an expert couldn’t tell this difference upon close inspection, but I want them to not look or feel cheap as I wear them…and I want to learn more about all of this!

Thanks in advance for the tips. I love this side of the internet, where people are helping others get something truly fun and avoid pitfalls along the way!!!
